How is the little fawn boy now? Sorry to hear that he has problems, my fingers are crossed for both of you. :luck: :luck:

CONGRATULATIONS on a lovely litter, I hope you get some sleep soon.

Sadly, as I thought, our fawn boy had a cleft down the back in the soft pallet. The vet got her little light and magnifier and there it was. Someone told me that you only tend to get milk out the nose when the cleft is in the hard pallet. Is this correct?

So now we are down to 5 very fat, happy and contented babies and we've had a good night's sleep so all is well in this part of the world. :thumbsup:

We sat down for a little while looking at my video from Crufts last night. Gee I wish you guys would come into the ring in catalogue order. (w00t) It's almost impossible to work out who is whom. I don't think hubbie would pay for me to come back to get someone to dub the tape.

Will post pics when the furkids are standing up.

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes and thoughts.

Over the years I only seen one cleft palate, and that puppy had badly deformed jaws, dwarfism and corkscrew tail. She could not drink at all as she could not create a suction . The air going through the hole in her palate made whistling sound, like a little bird. Obviously there was nothing anybody could have done for her, it was still sad to have her PTS. She was a strong little thing.

I imagine getting milk coming out of their nose, they would have to have enough suction to actually get some milk. So the size of the "cleft" would have been an issue.
